Keep the Olympic flame burning long after the Closing Ceremonies Sunday, courtesy of a select group of athletes who've obsessively Facebooked about the Games and are fun to read. Here are the top athletes to follow on Facebook – and don't forget to like People.com for all your celeb news.

1. Kobe Bryant, BasketballThe Lakers star is the most popular Olympian on Facebook – but is reacting to the games less like an NBA superstar and more like a superfan, posting pics of himself with his favorite Olympians – like 100m sprinter Tyson Gay – and giving complimentary shout-outs to other athletes. (His take on Michael Phelps: "We should all embrace his Olympic Era because we truly have been witnessing history in the making.")

2. Lebron James, BasketballThe second-most-popular Olympian on Facebook shares candid pics of his teammates both on and off the court in London.

3. Lolo Jones, Track and FieldIt's all fun and games for Jones, who peppers her Facebook page with cheeky statuses about herself and her fellow competitors. "Italy's in next building. Could hear shouts of joy from open windows when they won ... Either that or their espresso machine finally got fixed."

5. Jordan Burroughs, WrestlingThat other Jordan has chronicled every single step along his path to (hopefully) Olympic gold – right down to the moment when he got this promising fortune cookie message: A golden egg of opportunity falls into your lap this month." Let's hope that egg comes in the form of an Olympic medal!

7. Tony Parker, BasketballThe San Antonio Spurs player – who is repping France at the Olympics – posts exclusively in French. But you don't need a translator to get the gist of his posts, like the one where he congratulates French canoer Tony Estanguet on winning gold: "Champion olympiqueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!!!!!!!! Félicitations à Tony Estanguet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

8. Shawn Johnson, 2008 All-Around Gymnastics Silver MedalistShe may not be participating in these Olympics, but Johnson's page is brimming with perky pics of her hanging out with London luminaries like Ryan Lochte and Missy Franklin. And – of course – the 4'9" powerhouse is dwarfed in almost every picture.

10. Jessica Ennis, Track and FieldAfter winning gold in the heptathlon on Saturday, the 26-year-old Brit quickly became the second most-mentioned female Olympian on Facebook (after Gabby Douglas, of course). Among her new fans? Ludacris and Bruce Jenner, who posed with the athlete for Facebook pics.
